EDIT: I'm taking a break from commissions for now. If I told you I'll make something for you, feel free to contact me and I'll try to wrap up. But I am not accepting any new commissions at this time. I don't know if I'll open them up again.
Yes, it's here, after many, many requests, I think I'm ready to give this a try. Do you want your own 3D Printed Custom Mask designed by me? Have you ever wanted to hold something you've been drawing on paper for months to complete your self-MOC? Trust me, there is nothing like that feeling, and now, I can make it a reality for you.
Custom Part: ~$30
(depending on complexity)
Other: Please discuss
Insufficient Reference Images: +$10
Model for Yourself: +$5

(Only use Tumblr if you can't contact me any other way. I may not see it for a while)
Let me know what kind of part you would like designed and what you would like it to fit over/into.
REFERENCE IMAGES FROM AT LEAST TWO SIDES!!
(While I can design a mask from description alone, it will cost you extra. "Kinda like this picture" or "This design" will not count as reference images. The more angles you can get me, the better I can represent your design.)
We can then go on to discuss the finer details such as pricing and any other information I need before modeling. I will stay in close contact with you to ensure the model progresses as you desire.

Why Now?
Well, as I mentioned in a previous note, I'm currently looking for a summer job to prepare for college in the fall. Frankly, I haven't had much luck yet and my bank account won't last much longer. Plus, school is over for now and I'm finishing up what projects and commissions I had going. So I've got some spare time and a need for cash, so let's do this.What can I order?
While I am primarily a mask forger, I'm willing to branch out into weapons and custom parts this time around. Kanohi, staff heads, chestplates, they're all fair game. With my last few designs, I've also got a good handling on G2 and other connections for masks as well. I would like to keep it Bionicle/Lego related, but let me know if you have another idea and we can work something out.But... how much is it going to cost?

Why so expensive?!
Commission prices are a bit of a topic in the artist community. It's hard to find that balance where people will buy it and yet the artist actually makes it worth their time. These 3D masks are the culmination of over three years of practice, countless hours of work, and a good helping of design work. Each design I make has taken at least five hours of modeling, not to mention the costs of prototyping to ensure they fit. Each design also comes with a guarantee that if it doesn't fit, I will fix the model and send it to you for free.How can I contact you?

What should I say?
When you message me, be sure to leave me with your name and preferred method of contact (otherwise I'll just reply to your message).Let me know what kind of part you would like designed and what you would like it to fit over/into.

What are the rules?
- I'm primarily a Lego/Bionicle artist, and so that's mostly what I expect here. However, if you want me to try something new, I'm open to it. However, I will not be doing anything with nudity, sexual themes, vulgarity, etc.
- Keep in mind that I have other things to do in my life, and as much as I would love to model all day, these commissions can take time. Sorry. If I start feeling swamped, I'll close commissions down again.
- I reserve the right to adjust pricing based on the amount of time required. Basically, if you think your Bionicle scale model of the Stargate is worth $20, we need to talk. This is just here in order to protect me from dumping ridiculous amounts of time in for little payment, and I will not adjust pricing without consulting you first.
- After the commission is complete, I'll show you a final render and provide payment information. Paypal is preferred.
- Once payment has been received, the model will be uploaded to my Shapeways store for you and others to purchase. Please let me know if this will be a problem, and we can work something out.
- Some commissioners have asked for the printable model for their own use. Should you ask for this, be advised there is a $5 fee per model which roughly covers the cost of two prints for me.
- Should I reach out to the commissioner and receive no reply for 30 days, the commission will be cancelled.
An Announcement...
First of all, I want to give a huge shoutout to Flickr's -Disty- for this absolutely brilliant Bohrok logo build. It inspired me from the first moment I saw it, and I'm just happy to finally have my own physical copy. If you're interested in the build itself, please head over to Disty's page to fave the original and get instructions for yourself. And without further ado... TL;DR at the bottom The Recap: Hey all. I've been meaning to post an update on my whole... situation for a long time, but words continually evaded me. If you've been a watcher here for a while, you might know that the last several years have been... really rough. I had intended to serve my church for two years, only to back out at the last second for my mental health. I lost one of my brothers in a car accident. I used to do so much more to show the gratitude I have for each and every one of you who have helped me to get this far, hone my talents, and just support me in the one constant in my life, and lately I've
Canonization and Customization
Hey guys, been kind of quiet here. I've been... organizing my thoughts for a long time, but life/MOCing/art updates are going to have to wait until another day. Today I want to explain my own feelings on a current subject that may have a huge impact on many of us fans of the Bionicle franchise.
Canonization
If you were unaware, Greg Farshtey (yes, that Greg Farshtey) confirmed in an Ask Greg topic that he would be willing to open up polls for canonization again. If you haven't already, I encourage you to vote on their survey about whether it's a move you'd like to see.
Okay, my thoughts on canonization. I don't like it. I think it's far to
Just a Heads Up (Shapeways) EDIT 1
As an FYI, Lego has recently issued a notice on Shapeways to any uploads containing the words "Lego" or "Bionicle" in the tags. As far as I can tell, they are simply preventing unauthorized use of their trademarked terms and, once I've removed those tags, business will resume as normal. In the meantime, expect a lot of my shop to go to private as I sort this out on my end.
I want to assure you there's no reason to panic. Lego isn't "crushing the custom parts industry" or anything. They're just protecting their IP, as any company should. It's a move I and many other modelers have been anticipating for a long time and we're ready to deal with
One Year Later
Monday marked one year since the car accident that took my brother Baylor's life. I've been told I shouldn't remember the date, but the first anniversary has a tangible presence in my home. Everyone has been handling it differently. My parents want to get away from any reminders, while my younger brother and I want to stay where things are quiet and familiar. The disconnect has just been adding to my anxiety about this week.
All my life, I've done things to keep those around me happy. I worked hard in school to keep my parents happy. I submitted my Mission papers to keep my LDS Ward happy. I put up with all kinds of abuse and neglect to keep
